ME1 was doing loads of world building. I assume BioWare had a huge lore bible they were pulling from. Cerberus were the only human organisation other than the Alliance mentioned (I think). ME2 didn’t add any lore that wasn’t in ME1, so I assume the lore bible wasn’t redone.
The lore largely wasn’t redone, but there was a big shift in what the writers were focusing on. He was more negative on 2 and 3 than I am, but I highly recommend the late Shamus Young’s retrospective series on the trilogy
I remember broadly agreeing with his critique at the time. Most of what I like about ME2 he isn’t touching on. ME2 is better in all the game parts and I think the more focused squad story works better. ME3 is where thing come off the wagon for me.
If towards the end of ME2, TIM announced he was actually Admiral Sheen of the Alliance and the Cerberus this was just because Alliance High Command couldn’t count on the council, but now you have proof, it’s time come in from the cold, ME3 would makes sense.
